Would have loved to get Kadri and keep Fox, but we'd have less cap space today for re-signing Johnny, Tkachuk and Mangiapane - and we'd also have to come up with 10M for Fox next season.

Well, you aren't right about Stone at all. And having too much talent to keep is a luxury, not a problem - see Tampa Bay. It's all beside the point anyways, my point is Canadian teams are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to signing and retaining players. I would argue it is the entire reason a Canadian team hasn't lifted the cup in nearly 30 years.
